674 Seed Planting (1/2)
In the corner of a small fishing village on the Yin-Yang Continent, a few children gathered together. Among them, a young, small, and scrawny boy with brown hair suddenly climbed onto a roof, looked at the blue sea in the distance, and let out a vow, ”I must become the Sailing King!”
After the human empire conquered the entire Yin-Yang Continent, the human population continuously increased and the amount of arable land kept decreasing.
There were already more and more sights directed toward the endless open seas.
Especially the lord of this territory, Grand Duke Wellington, who fundamentally enjoyed risks and adventures, was full of explorative spirit.
Under his encouragement, the entire territory's navigation techniques advanced endlessly, and they could already build a huge ship that could sail the high seas and bring about rich fish harvests.
Furthermore, according to rumors, there were huge islands that were piled up completely with gold and silver abroad. This further sparked the explorative warmth of the civilians and nobility.
”Haha… Ge Fei, you don't even know how to swim, and you still want to become a sea explorer?”
A few companions covered their stomach and laughed out loud.
”Scumbags!”
Being constantly provoked, Ge Fei's embarrassment turned into anger. He waved his fist and pulled down his eyelids, making a provocative stance.
”Ge Fei, is your skin itchy?”
Evidently, this provocation did not bring about any effect and even caused greater anger.
With a few bigger children taking the lead, Ge Fei was suppressed and suffered a terrible beating. He lay on the ground and groaned.
He clutched his fists tightly, summoned all the energy of his entire body, and shouted towards their backs, ”Even though I don't know how to swim, I won't give up my dreams!”
Unfortunately, those companions had already walked away. Instead, a sound suddenly came from his side. ”Yo, lad, you're very energetic, aren't you?”
”Eh? Where did you come from, uncle?”
Ge Fei turned around and looked at this stranger.
He was definitely not from the fishing village, as he was very tall, like a small mountain; his arms were as thick as a horse; and his face was wearing something black.
If it was a modern person, they would have instantly recognized him as a bodybuilder wearing sunglasses.
”Don't be so rude. I'm still very young.”
Fang Yuan punched this small kid's head. If not for a quick scan with his spiritual will and discovering that the aptitude of this kid was the highest, he would not have bothered to say anything to him.
”So painful!”
Ge Fei clutched his head and tears were about to fall.
”You want to become a sailing king? In this era, not only do you need to have navigation knowledge, you need strong military might! Those fierce waves and nefarious pirates will have to be dealt with by you.”
Fang Yuan started to tempt him. ”Lad, do you want to obtain power?”
At this moment, his body seemed to radiate, and endless human figures were attached to it and not one was fighting alone!
”This sounds like a witch swindling a small girl in a fairytale. Are you actually thinking of abducting me and selling to the werewolves or vampires?” Ge Fei rolled his eyes. ”Forget it. I want to go home to eat. Uncle, you can slowly play by yourself.” As he was speaking, he unhesitantly and swiftly ran away.
Unfortunately, before he was able to run a few steps, he was lifted up by Fang Yuan. ”Sigh… boys nowadays. Are they so difficult to tempt? Forcing me to act.”
Ge Fei suddenly felt a strong sense of fear and shouted, ”What do you want to do? I am a citizen of Grand Duke Wellington. There are guards in the village and they won't let you off!”
In the next instant, his shouts became a shrill howl.
”Ahhhhhh!!!”
”So painful! So painful!”
Ge Fei shouted miserably while his tears and snot erupted.
The feeling of being forcefully injected with fighting spirit was like a person using thousands of steel knives to scrape all his organs simultaneously.
Even a grown man would fundamentally be unable to withstand this.
Therefore, after a moment, he rolled both of his eyes and directly fainted.
”Finished.”
Fang Yuan clapped his hands and his figure instantly vanished.
Immediately, his howls attracted grown men who rushed to the scene and brought Ge Fei home.
”Ah! That damn uncle, I'm in so much pain!”
After fainting for an unknown period of time, Ge Fei shouted loudly and jumped up from his bed.
Bang! Bang!
Two thumps came from the surroundings. It was actually the two grown men who were knocked to the ground by his subconscious movements.
”Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!”
Ge Fei looked at the surroundings with a frightened expression and hurriedly held his head in apology. Suddenly, mysterious knowledge appeared in his mind.
Although he was illiterate, he could actually clearly understand the meaning within. It was actually teaching him how to control the fighting spirit within his heart.
”Heart? Fighting spirit?”
